Way up or way down
I believe the answer is:
steps
This clue is a double definition.
'way up' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'way down' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for steps that I've seen before include "Sequence of foot movements in a dance" , "Stairs; paces" , "Stages; ladder" , "stair" , "taken to get on" .)
